1. Rakib Ehsan - What The Left Gets Wrong About Ethnic Minorities

Introducing EquianoPod! In our first episode, we take you back to our conversation with Rakib Ehsan about what the left gets wrong concerning ethnic minorities. Why is there a tendency to oversimplify the perspectives and principles held by ethnic minorities? Do all ethnic minorities share the same opinion about immigration, Brexit, the Black Lives Matter movement, patriotism, and other matters? Why don't we speak much about internal ethnic clashes and conflicts of ideas and values? We explored these questions with Dr. Rakib Ehsan, a research analyst and writer specialising in social cohesion, race relations, and public security. We hope that you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
